Question

My child has just been born and is showing facial cyanosis. I’m very worried, as this is my first child. The hospital informed us that they have Tetralogy of Fallot. I would like to know, what are the clinical manifestations of Tetralogy of Fallot?

Answer

Hello, friend. The clinical manifestations of Tetralogy of Fallot mainly include cyanosis, difficulty breathing, and a prominent chest. Severe cases may present with syncope due to hypoxia, seizures, and convulsions. Diagnosis can be confirmed through echocardiography and electrocardiogram, identifying conditions such as a ventricular septal defect, pulmonary artery abnormalities, and right ventricular stenosis.
